HIV from Oral sex?

[jakejones990011]

I had oral sex with someone of unknown status. He was precumming and then put his penis in my mouth where I swallowed some of the precum. He may have cum a little more in my mouth - then he came more on my face after. no other sexual acts were performed. I am very nervous if I have HIV as he did cum in my mouth. What is my risk factor level?

Also, should I get tested? (is it necessary?)

I also read this article...is it accurate? http://www.medhelp.org/tags/health_page/3528/HIV/HIV-AND-ORAL-SEX-THE-FACTS?hp_id=1278

If so, it seems I am actually safe and have no risk? Please let me know.

Do you know anything about the OraQuick at home tests? Time/accuracy?

I believe some of the testing protocols have changed quite drastically since nursegirl wrote that article.

You can take a 4th generation DUO test at 4 WEEKS post exposure and your result will be conclusive. There is no longer any need to wait for the 12 week Elisa test.

thank you so much for the response! I will most likely get a test at the beginning of June for my own sanity (cant shake the nerves so easily!), but it is good to know I have nothing to worry about!

thank you again for the advice!
